Early Childhood Center

The Dr. I.J. Rosefsky Early Childhood Center at the JCC offers a warm, child-centered environment, where children can become confident, responsible, and successful learners.  We celebrate the process of learning, emphasizing creativity and exploration over predefined outcomes. Guided by developmentally appropriate practices and the Creative Curriculum, our activities are thoughtfully designed to support each child's individual growth and development. We are committed to providing a safe, supportive, and enriching environment where every child can thrive and reach their fullest potential. Join us today!
